"The population of Lhasa used to be 50,000 to 60,000. Now it is 300,000, of which 200,000 are chinese," he said, adding that Tibetans were being deprived of an opportunity to learn their native language and monasteries were being politicized under what he called a cultural genocide.

This is the finale of a concert held in McLeod Ganj in India to celebrate the18th Birthday of the Panchen Lama and to raise support for his release by the chinese - 25th April 2007http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MIhDkVXPOl0

Very rare video of the chinese panchen lama, qoigyijabu's or by his secular name is gyaincain norbu. He is seen here exiting the Shigatze monastry in tibet. The Dalai Lama picked a new panchen lama in 1989 but in 1990 china replaced the 7 year old by arresting him. He very rarely leaves bejing and is never seen in public. Note the security unit around him and also how little reverence he is paid by other monks. Most of the roudy crowd behind me are chinese tourists yelling tashidelag and one tibetan woman screaming something unknown.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fSI4AoiFzZE
